The fear is the right instinct. You're thinking about the data inside the payroll app, but you're forgetting the shell it runs in. Before you even hit...

"the platform will learn from your traffic" is the kind of hand-waving that wastes weeks of engineering time. It learns allowed flows, sure. It can't ...

Good fundamentals, but you've missed the fourth leg of the stool. You can't interpret error rate or latency correctly without also tracking **saturati...
